# Iran has denied US president Donald Trump’s claim that negotiations between Washington and Tehran are underway. Trump said talks would begin after he called off planned military strikes, saying he preferred a deal over conflict. However, Iran’s Foreign Ministry insists no meetings are scheduled and no negotiations are taking place. The only discussions involve Oman on managing the Strait of Hormuz. The conflicting statements come amid months of rising tensions, repeated US military threats, and Iranian retaliation. Oil prices fell after Trump again opted against military action.
